The 199th and 200th members of the FDNY have died of September 11th-related illnesses.

Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted Thursday morning that Richard Driscoll and Kevin Nolan have died after battling illnesses they contracted while working at the World Trade Center.

 

 

De Blasio is calling on the Senate to fully fund the Victim Compensation Fund.

On Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul blocked a bipartisan bill that would ensure the fund never runs out of money.
